Locating OEM-Approved HV Tools: Polestar

Posted on 11 April 2025 | Share: |

When researching procedures for disabling a high-voltage (HV) vehicle, you may notice that many of the procedures require the use of specific tools. Some of them are OEM-specific tools or scan tools. Often identifying and locating where to purchase these specific tools can be difficult.

The RTS team is researching how to find these tools to make it easier for technicians performing these tasks. As we research the location of these special tools, we are compiling the information in a series of OEM-specific articles.

Tools and equipment needed are identified in vehicle-specific service manuals. Polestar HV tools can be found using the following steps:

Go to polestartechhub.com
Click Triple Bar menu icon (top left of webpage)
Hover over Resources
Click Special Tools
Enter part number in Search textbox (middle of webpage)
Click Magnifying Glass icon to search

An HV DVOM may be required to disable Polestar high-voltage systems. Any tools needed for this are typically documented in the vehicle-specific disable procedure.

Always follow OEM procedures when repairing HV vehicles. Make sure to check procedures for the required tools and procedures to help ensure a complete, safe, and quality repair.
